TIME TO SAY GOODBYE MR. 2016


Hey Guys,

That time of the year has come, to say buh-bye to this past year (2016) and to say Hello to 2017 with lots of excitement, enthusiasm and best of all, lots of positivism.

We are living in some not-so-easy times and that's why I always say that it is during those times that we should smile to prove that we are positive, strong and can conquer any adversity we set our minds to.

Talking about looking at the bright side of things, what better way than to recieve this New Year with your best attire and look spectacular during such a special night.

Here, I will show you a classy look you guys are going to love.  To start it off, let me tell you about one of the most spoken of tendencies of this season, specially during formal events: the jumpsuits.

During this occasion, I'm wearing a jumpsuit from A Fashion Online Boutique; it's one of my favorite fall colors, burgundy.  This jumpsuit is covered in sequins and because the piece has to have a distinctive touch to it, a long cape in the same color as part of the same outfit.

To adorn this exquisite conjunction, I used a brilliant choker from Galería store, accompanied with a bracelet and earrings of the same metal.

Since this look by itself is a bombshell, I decided to let mi hair loose so I could get a more natural look with dark shoes so that the feet area don't stand out more than the real magnificent outfit.

It is really a piece that doesn't need much to achieve it to look good! 
Between the cape, the sequins, it's pronounced necklines & with it's impacting color... you won't have anything to worry about, you have it all in one single outfit.

I'm pretty sure you guys loved this look as much as I did and hope you can use it as inpiration when the time to combine a look for New Year's Eve comes.  If you liked it, don't forget to "Share it" and to "Like" my Facebook and Instagram pages as: @thetrendoven.

As a closing, I would love to wish all of you an awesome New Year, full of blessings, new hopes during these times we are going through, success in everything you propose yourself to do and most of all lots and lots of love and health.

With love,

KM

Hola chicos,

Llegó el momento de despedirnos del año viejo (2016) y recibir el 2017 con mucho ánimo, entusiasmo y sobre todo, con mucho positivismo.

Estamos viviendo en unos tiempos no muy fáciles que digamos y es por esto que siempre digo que es el momento en dónde más debemos sonreír para demostrar que somos valientes ante cualquier adversidad. 

Y hablando de buscarle el lado bueno a las cosas negativas, qué mejor que recibir el nuevo año con tu mejor atuendo y lucir espectacular esa noche tan especial para muchos. 

Les presento un look que sé les va a fascinar. Para comenzar, les cuento que una de las tendencias más in de la temporada y en especial para actividades formales, son los jumpsuits.

En esta ocasión, estoy vistiendo un jumpsuit de la Boutique A Fashion Online. Es de mi color Otoñal favorito, el vino; está cubierto en lentejuelas y además como la pieza que le da un toque distintivo, una capa larga en el mismo color sujetada por el propio outfit

Para adornar este exquisito conjunto, utilicé un choker brillante de la tienda Galería, acompañado de una pulsera y pantallas del mismo material. 

Como este look es de por sí muy despampanante, decidí dejar mi pelo suelto para que le diera un aire más natural y un calzado oscuro para no resaltar mucho el área de los pies.

Verdaderamente es una pieza que no necesita mucho para lograr que se vea bien. Entre la capa, las lentejuelas, sus escotes pronunciados y su color impactante... no tendrás por qué preocuparte, lo tienes todo en un mismo set.

Espero les haya encantado este look tanto como a mí y lo puedan tomar de inspiración para cuando les toque combinar un ajuar para despedir el año. Si les gusta, no olviden compartirlo o darle "LIKE" en mi página de Facebook e Instagram como @thetrendoven. 

Aparte de esto, les quiero desear a todos un Feliz Año Nuevo lleno de muchas bendiciones, nuevas esperanzas en estos tiempos que andamos viviendo, éxito en todo lo que se propongan y mucha mucha mucha salud y amor. 

Con Cariño,

KM

FUN AND SHOPS DAY!

Hello Trendoveners,

As I felt a thin ray of light through our cabin window curtain as I woke up on the first day of my vacations; we had arrived at our first Caribbean Island, St. Thomas.

We went to the Cruise Buffet for Breakfast, I think it was the only time I ate there :).  Once done and ready, I packed a little bag with beach essentials and off we went.  Wearing a loose and tropical dress from Daniella's Boutique, which was a very relaxing look, I started the adventure of exploring the island, it's famous shops and delightful places to eat or snack.  I've been to St. Thomas a couple of times before, but every time I seem to find something new that I hadn't seen before.

After going around the island by car a couple of minutes in, we did a pit-stop at the Mountain Top Observatory and Souvenier Store.  From there you could appreciate all of St. Thomas green lands, nearby islands and the wonderful beach of Magens Bay -wow-.

I couldn't believe this awesome sight; it was so amazing for me to be in a place where I could see the Atlantic Ocean in one side and the Caribbean Sea at the other... I have no words to describe how beautiful nature is.

To finish up the island excursion, my family and I decided to have some late lunch at the famous Main Street, Charlotte Amalie, which is St. Thomas Downtown area, known for its picturesque restaurants and shops.

On the way back from a wonderful day, we went back to the Cruise to take a quick shower and continue our tight schedule of activities, dinner and keep getting to know the whole inside of the ship.

If you want to know what we actually did that second night on the ship, stay tuned for the next post which will let you know how fun it was... although with a cocktail on hand everything is more fun!

XOXO,

-KM

CRUISING AWAY • 09/4/16

Hello Friends,

It was that time of the year... Summer Vacation Time! To be more exact, CRUISE VACATION TIME!!! So, we packed our bags and were ready to go! Islands, beaches, pool, nightlife and that classic Mojito with mint leaves.

The cruise I got the privilege to go on is called the Fascination. This cruise took us to 5 islands, including 1 day at sea; starting at St. Thomas and then Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & ending at St. Maarten before heading back to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

So, since I have a lot of stories to tell and show you, I'm going to be posting different articles about this trip in sequence... So you can keep on track of this adventure with me :).

For this first post, I'm showing the cool areas of the ship and what I wore to start traveling through the Caribbean. 

On a side note, I have to thank all my beautiful "trendoveners" who gave me lots of tips and advises for this trip via my Snapchat and Instagram accounts: @thetrendoven . You guys rock!!! <3

Back to the subject of what I wore: I decided to get in something comfortable and easy to travel with since that first day was for settling and exploring the port and cruise. My look was basically an effortless practical outfit: a pair of jeans, a gorgeous blouse from Daniella's Boutique & Novus Oxford style sneakers. Let me tell you, it worked out perfectly! ;)

I was really feeling the night breeze when we left port in my off-shoulder blouse. The stars lit up the night and the moon reflected on the ocean, that's when I realized our adventure / vacation was really taking off after a stressful work week; it felt so deserving... I even ordered another Mojito!

It had been a busy day, so I went to get some beauty sleep and thought about what was awaiting for us tomorrow morning... Stay tuned to find out! ;)

Nighty night! Xoxo

-KM

TANGERINE


Hello friends,

We're always on the lookout for bright colors of the summer palette; the color Tangering came two seasons ago and it is ready to stay a little longer. 

This color is a mix of red and orange... I have to admit I'm kind of obsessed with it! 

Right now its the trendiest color in every single store. Also, the stores and boutiques have changed that original "Cherry" red on their pieces to this Tangerine color; it really looks amazing on everybody. In my opinion, it is a color that make your eyes and face stand out. 

On this day, I wore a maxi dress from Chic Boutique using this trendy color, with a layer on the front and a sexy open back. I wanted to give that "boho-chic" style, so I combined it with a pair of laced up flat sandals and let my hair al-natural tobtake its way. 

In addition, I accesorized this beautiful dress with lots of bangles and long-asymmetric earrings. 

•••Another Fashion tip:
I wore this dress to a wedding; the only thing that changed were my shoes and the jewelry. For this occasion I wore a pair of stray heels with a gem stones strap and putter (shiny) earrings and bracelet. 

Are you into red-ish / Tangerine colors too? You can tag me your looks using the hashtag #thetrendoven or even Snapchat me as @thetrendoven!

ALL YOU NEED IS SUN & DIET COKE

Hi guys,

I don't know if you've heard, but SUMMER IS HERE and when it comes to summer days, there's nothing better than an iced-cold Diet Coke to go with the perfect bathing suit. 

That's why today I wore a Cayena Boutique pineapple bikini set to match my DietCoke as a statement piece. 

Summer is all about fun under the sun, comfy clothing and fabulous shades, like my "Media Luna" Río Sunglasses shown here.

Summer Hint: It all depends on the occasion, but whenever you can combine a bathing suit top or bikini top with a nice fresh cardigan... Do it! 💪🏼👙 Then you can pair them up with your favorite freestyle shorts and a pair of sneakers!

If you do this look, tag @thetrendoven and hashtag #thetrendoven so we can see it!

Have a Styling Summer Ya'll!

Xoxo,

KM

DEEP BLUE DENIM


Hi Loves,

It's finally summer and of course, I'm kind of melting here at the "trópico" of Puerto Rico. 

As you all know, trends come and go, so here's a post dedicated to the long-time famous, the denim trend. 

I matched up two different kind of brands, but ended up with the "denim on denim" look and loved how it looked on ; ).

•••So here's my look of the day:

I'm wearing a boutique denim blouse (it's kinda' oldie but I still love it) and a sexy denim skirt from A'gaci Stores.

I left the look as simple as it looks because sometimes less is more. To add that "I need something else" factor, I did my hair with soft curls (perfect for any "after work" occasion) and a high ponytail with cute goldie locks to make it more of a street style look or work outfit.

Are you into the denim fever too? 
Let me know on my Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat accounts as @thetrendoven .

BOTTOMS HIT THE STREETS

Hello Hello Dear Friends,

As part of my "Trendy Reports" I try to bring you the latest trends on the streets and what most people would like to wear; following the fashion guidelines of course.

That's why today, I'm presenting one of the hottest trends of the Season: the beautiful "Bell-Bottom Jeans". 

I remember when I was younger (90's) and every single woman had these kind of jeans... Yes, I plead guilty myself... I wore mine back at the time! 
This trend was one of the strongest for the 1990's and because trends come and go, here we are again with this one. 

In my opinion, this kind of jeans are designed for tall woman, why you ask?
Well, because if you are petite, the wide (bell) leg of the jeans are going to make you look shorter than you are. So, if you are madly in love with this trend, I recommend the "Flare" or "Boot Cut" style.  It has sort of that wide leg style, but at the same time its more fitted to the contortion of the leg. 

That said, here's my look...

I'm wearing a beautiful bell-bottom from Daniella's Boutique, in combination with a nude top with exquisite pleated details. I consider this outfit a casual / chic look. To dress it down (because I was enjoying the art at the awesome "Santurce Es Ley" in Puerto Rico - Art Festival), I used an accessory, a super cute emoji crossed-sided bag and a high pony tail. 

So, are you into the bell-bottom trend? Let me know on my Facebook & Instagram as: @ The Trend Oven !

Enjoy the look!!!

Xoxo

RÉGIMEN DE BELLEZA

¿Cómo sueles tratar tu piel? 

Si aún no tienes un régimen de belleza, lee este corto artículo porque en cuatro pasos sencillos puedes conenzar a cuidar tu rostro.

Comienza por lavarte la cara hasta que quede completamente limpia, sin residuos de maquillaje.

Luego de haber hecho este paso básico y dejar el rostro seco nuevamente, exfolia la piel con el "Ultra Strength- Retexturizing Peel" de Avon para eliminar cualquier marca post-acné, líneas finas, daños ocasionados por el sol, entre otros. Este producto lo usarás con un día de por medio, por la mañana o por la noche. 


Seguido de la exfoliación, vas a aplicar la crema "Anew AHA Refining Cream", esta servirá como humectante, por lo que la podrás utilizarla todos los días. Además de contener ácido alfahidróxico (que son ácidos potentes que contienen antioxidantes), éste ayuda a que tu piel se vea años más joven. 


Para finalizar, el suero iluminador "Anew Vitamin C - Brightening Serum" ayudará a que tu piel luzca más iluminada, clara y con un tono más parejo. Úsalo por la mañana y la noche, como tu trataniento ANTES de humectar.


Espero que este sea el comienzo de una buena piel hidratada y rejuvenecida. 

Comparte conmigo tu experiencia con estos productos a través de mis redes sociales como @thetrendoven ! 

Antes de despedirme...
¡NO OLVIDES hacerte representante de Avon! Puedes ganar dinero extra, mientras disfrutas de los mejores productos de bellezas y los "fashion items" que tanto nos encantan a nosotras.

Espero les haya gustado mi pequeña rutina.

Hugs & Kisses! <3

TWISTED SPRING

Hi loves!

I have something very special for you today. This post is dedicated to Spring trends, but this time, with a twist that incorporates dark colors.

The trend has kind of a "color blocking" vibe, I've seen it a lot in magazines, fashion reviews and in super stores that scream out the word trend!

How do you recognize the look? Well, it's  very simple. The patterns are usually black, brown and navy blue, so it's going to have a splash of colors in it; maybe flowers or geometrical lines are the stamp that describe the look, such as the romper I'm wearing in the pictures below, from Hip Hop Store.

Which by the way is super comfy and it can be worn with mid wedges, nice flat sandals or even funky tennis shoes. 

So, are you ready to twist your Spring?
For more trends & nice outfits, FOLLOW ME as @thetrendoven on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat & Twitter.

Enjoy!

Xoxo
